Irish Water complaints oversight
Barry Cowen asks whether the Ombudsman will handle complaints about Irish Water and raises privatisation concerns; the Taoiseach says the matter can be considered in forthcoming water-services legislation later this year.
In light of what the Ombudsman had to say this morning is it the intention of the Government to allow him to accept complaints in respect of Irish Water? Is this something the Taoiseach will contemplate when he discusses a new or revised programme for Government with the Labour Party? According to the Ombudsman the current circumstances lead him to believe that we are heading down the road of privatisation.
